I’m building a web app and i’d like to allow anonymous users to use it and to save some data without signing up.
let’s assume the user save a list of favorites image urls without singing up.
now i’m using this way: I save those favs in db and then i save the user’s ip address
so every time the user go back he can see his past favs
of course this is a temp solution
what’s the best way to associate that list to a specific user?
save it in a cookie?
some hybrid solution?
